Thanks for such a great, insightful response! Sounds like you're well on your way. I like the way that you applied the idea of permission to something like researching life insurance. It gives us space to get more information-sometimes we're dreading the decision so much that we put the whole thing off. If we can just dip the toe in just a bit, and get more information, the decision won't be so overwhelming.
Hmm. I'm no doctor (so this is not medical advice:))-but I like your take that maybe the discomfort you are feeling is actually a sign that you are pushing out of your comfort level. So when you start to notice it, you can reframe it-instead of letting it scare you, you can remind yourself that it's a sign you're growing and reaching toward bigger goals (unless of course, you start to hurt, and then you should contact your doctor!).
